Manipulate the shape of the spirals

CorelDRAW® lets you shape objects by manipulating their nodes and segments. An object's nodes are the tiny squares that display at regular intervals along the object's outline. The line between two adjacent nodes is a called a segment. Moving an object's segments lets you make coarse adjustments to the object's shape, while changing the position of its nodes lets you fine-tune the shape of the object.

1. Open the Shape edit flyout , and click the Shape tool .
2. Select one of the spirals. A number of nodes display along the length of the spiral. These nodes let you manipulate the shape of the spiral by moving line segments or changing the curve of line segments in the spiral.
3. Click the node at the open end of the spiral, and drag the line segment to a new position so that it forms a "tail" for the spiral.
4. Click and drag the Bezier handle to adjust the curve of the tail.
5. Click a node and drag the line segment to a new position.
6. Click and drag the Bezier handle and adjust the curve of the line segment. Manipulate as many or as few nodes of the spiral as you want. If the spiral does not have the desired orientation, rotate the spiral by dragging one of the rotation handles.
